No, it isn't crap.  I found the Central Repository for Aviation Photos which is laden with photos of all kinds.  Thought I would share.

LOL! Around here that would've meant Cut Rate Auto Parts. The bumper stickers ; "This car is powered by" are great.

That repository is excellent!

Crap is right, as in how much time I am going to spend looking at these photos. Seems to be an impressive collection. Nice find. Thanks for sharing.

That is a treasure of valuable photos. It'll save lots of time surfing the web for images of the camo/paint job for modelers like me.

Thank you!

Thanks, guys.  i did learn a couple of things.  Doolittle's B-25's did not have yellow propeller tips, and it looks like that VF-17's Corsairs were repainted with blue insignia surrounds instead of the factory red surrounds at NAS Alameda before going overseas to Pearl on the USS Bunker Hill.
